Our Lecturers

The outstanding strategic goal included in our Mission Statement is the teaching of Buddhism in Hungarian, as well as the training of Buddhist teachers in the only state-accredited higher education institution in Europe. The composition of the instructors ensures the above expectations, as well as the harmony of theory and practice, so we have instructors mainly involved in philosophy and language training, as well as practical ones, i.e. meditation, movement exercises, ritual, Zen arts, etc. our teaching teachers.

Zoltán Cser

A traditional teacher is someone who understands what they teach, clarifies their theses, breaks them down into parts, demonstrates logical connections, and then expects students to understand what they have understood during the exam. The most important question is: Do you understand?

Pál Farkas

I am probably a reserved person, considering many things part of the intimate sphere that others do not. For instance, I do not like eating with people I barely know, talking to them about my life, or being physically too close to them.

The desire to understand dream and reality has accompanied me since childhood. My life has been infused with the practice of the Dharma, while Yoga has become the practical tool for walking the path and achieving realization.

Nearly 20 years ago, during a regularly held philosophical discussion with a group of friends, I first encountered Zen. Then, at one of these meetings, someone casually mentioned that there was a Buddhist college in Budapest. I was surprised.

Dr. László Kenéz

If you now step into the inner space of this brief writing about me, the inscription chosen for the occasion reads: “Gei dō kore butsu dō,” meaning “The way of art and the way of the Buddha are one and the same.” Strange, isn't it?

Dr. Tibor Körtvélyesi

My three feet hang in three earthly dimensions: one in the dimension of kind people, another in the dimension of music and reason, and the third in practical things. The fourth foot, which could hang in metaphysical dimensions did not grow out.

László Mireisz

A Buddhist teacher can be embarrassed by two things. One is being asked to take a photo of themselves, and the other is being asked to write a self-introduction. This is because Buddha clearly stated, “The Enlightened one teaches the truths of the Dharma without the touch of his own personality.”

Dr. DĂ©nes Schreiner

It was love at first sight, and it has lasted ever since. Many topics interested me, including Greek philosophy, classical German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, existentialism, etc. I studied the history of philosophy, philosophy of religion, aesthetics, and the history of religions.

Botond Szathmári

Since secrets intrigued me so much, and advancing in the sciences led to the dissolution of these secrets, perhaps this – along with a few artists and philosophers – contributed to my shift from the natural sciences to the waters of philosophy.

László Takács

What could one write about the uneventful life of an aging Buddhist? We fall asleep, wake up, fall asleep again, wake up again, in the meantime we do this and that, and so on. The whole summary is perhaps captured by this old poem of mine.
